 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
Hereinafter, example embodiments will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package in accordance with example embodiments, FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the semiconductor package illustrated in FIG. 1 , and FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of an interposer having chips mounted thereon of the semiconductor package illustrated in FIG. 1 . It is noted that the drawings are schematic representations only, and that the illustrated relative dimensions of FIG. 1 differ from those of FIGS. 2 and 3 .
In the example of the embodiment of FIG. 1 , a semiconductor package includes a package substrate 110, an interposer 120, a logic chip 130, a plurality of memory chips 140, a heat sink 150 and an encapsulating member 180. The semiconductor package may, for example, be a system in package (SiP).
The package substrate 110 may include conductive lines (not shown). Each of the conductive lines may include a conductive trace extending along an upper and/or lower surface of the package substrate 110, and/or a conductive via extending between the upper and lower surfaces of the package substrate 110. However, the embodiments may not be limited to any particular configuration of conductive lines of the package substrate 110. Further, each of the conductive lines may have opposite ends terminating at external terminals 160 and 164. The external terminals 160 may, for example, be solder balls or bumps located between the interposer 120 and the package substrate 110. The external terminals 164 may, for example, be solder balls or bumps located on the lower surface of the package substrate 110. Again, however, the embodiments may not be limited to any particular configuration of the external terminals 160 and 164.
In the example of FIGS. 1 to 3 , the interposer 120 may be arranged over the upper surface of the package substrate 110.
The interposer 120 may include an insulating substrate, a plurality of connecting vias 122 (shown in FIG. 1 only) and a plurality of conductive patterns 124 (shown in FIG. 3 only). The connecting vias 122 may vertically extend through the insulating substrate such that an upper end may be exposed at an upper surface of the interposer 120, and a lower end may be exposed at a lower surface of the interposer 120. The lower ends of the connecting vias 122 may be electrically connected with the conductive lines in the package substrate 110 through the external terminals 160. In this way, the package substrate 110 and the interposer 120 may be electrically connected with each other via the external terminals 160. As shown in FIG. 3 , the conductive patterns 124 may be arranged on the upper surface of the interposer 120.
The logic chip 130 may be arranged on the upper surface of the interposer 120. In example embodiments, the logic chip 130 may be arranged on a central portion of the upper surface of the interposer 120. Pads may be arranged on a lower surface of the logic chip 130. Thus, the lower surface of the logic chip 130 may correspond to an active face of the logic chip 130. The logic chip 130 may be electrically connected with the interposer 120 through conductive bumps 162. That is, the pads of the logic chip 130 may be electrically connected with the upper ends of the connecting vias 122 in the interposer 120 via the conductive bumps 162.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3 , the memory chips 140 may be arranged on the upper surface of the interposer 120. Each of the memory chips 140 may include pads. The pads may be arranged on a lower surface of each of the memory chips 140. Thus, the lower surface of the memory chip 140 may correspond to an active face of the memory chip 140. The memory chips 140 may be electrically connected with the interposer 120 through the conductive bumps 162. That is, the pads of the memory chips 140 may be electrically connected with the upper ends of the connecting vias 122 in the interposer 120 via the conductive bumps 162. In example embodiments, at least one of memory chips 140 may include a high bandwidth memory (HBM) chip.
In example embodiments, the memory chips 140 may be arranged to surround the logic chip 130. The memory chips 140 may be electrically connected with the logic chip 130 through the conductive patterns 124 on the upper surface of the interposer 120.
Further, one or more of the memory chips 140 may have a multi-chip structure in which two or more memory chips are vertically stacked relative to the horizontal surface of the package substrate 110. The number of stacked chips of each of the memory chips 140 may not be limited and may be four, eight, twelve, sixteen, etc. The multi-chip structure of the memory chips 140 may have a thickness which may be greater than that of the logic chip 130. Therefore, the upper surface of the logic chip 130 may be positioned on a plane lower than that on which an upper surface of the memory chip 140 may be positioned.
The heat sink 150 may be arranged on the upper surface of the logic chip 130. The heat sink 150 may make thermal contact with the upper surface of the logic chip 130 to dissipate heat generated from the logic chip 130. The heat sink 150 may have a width which may be substantially the same as that of the logic chip 130. The heat sink 150 may have a length which may be substantially the same as that of the logic chip 130. Thus, the heat sink 150 may have side surfaces coplanar with those of the logic chip 130.
In example embodiments, the heat sink 150 may have an upper surface coplanar with that of the memory chips 140. Because the upper surface of the heat sink 150 may be coplanar with the upper surface of the memory chips 140, a structure may be readily formed over the memory chips 140 by following processes. For example, as is described in a subsequent embodiment, a main heat sink for dissipating heat in the memory chips 140 may be easily arranged on the upper surfaces of the memory chips 140. A thickness of the heat sink 150 may be determined in accordance with a thickness of the stacked memory chips 140. Alternatively, the upper surface of the heat sink 150 may be higher or lower than that of the memory chips 140.
The heat sink 150 may be a dummy chip. For example, a dummy chip determined to be defective in semiconductor fabrication processes may be used as the heat sink 150. Thus, the heat sink 150 may include silicon of the dummy chip.
The heat sink 150 may be attached to the upper surface of the logic chip 130 using a heat-transferring adhesive 170. The heat-transferring adhesive 170 may function to transfer the heat in the logic chip 130 to the heat sink 150. In example embodiments, the heat-transferring adhesive 170 may include a thermal interface material (TIM).
The encapsulating member 180 may, for example, be formed by supplying an encapsulant into a mold containing the semiconductor package. The encapsulating member 180 may be arranged in a space between the upper surface of the interpose 120 and the lower surfaces of the memory chips 140, a space between inner side surfaces of the memory chips 140 and outer side surfaces of the logic chip 130 and the heat sink 150, and on outer side surfaces of the memory chips 140. The encapsulating member 180 may have an upper surface coplanar with the upper surfaces of the memory chips 140 and the heat sink 150.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package in accordance with example embodiments.
In the example of the embodiment of FIG. 4 , a semiconductor package may include a package substrate 110, an interposer 120, a logic chip 130, a plurality of memory chips 140, a heat sink 150, a main heat sink 155 and an encapsulating member 180.
The package substrate 110, the interposer 120, the logic chip 130, the memory chips 140, the heat sink 150 and the encapsulating member 180 of FIG. 4 may be the same or substantially the same as those of FIGS. 1-3 described previously. As such, a detailed description of such elements is omitted here to avoid redundancy.
The example of FIG. 4 differs from that of FIGS. 1-3 by the additional provision of a main heat sink 155.
Referring to FIG. 4 , the main heat sink 155 may be arranged on the upper surfaces of the memory chips 140 and the heat sink 150. The main heat sink 155 may dissipate the heat in the memory chips 140 and the heat in the heat sink 150. That is, the main heat sink 155 may directly dissipate the heat in the memory chips 140. Further, the main heat sink 155 may indirectly dissipate the heat in the logic chip 130 through the heat sink 150.
In example embodiments, the main heat sink 155 may have a flat lower surface. As mentioned above, because the upper surfaces of the heat sink 150 and the memory chips 140 may be coplanar with each other, a contact area between the flat lower surface of the main heat sink 155 and the upper surfaces of the heat sink 150 and the memory chips 140 may be expanded. Therefore, heat transfer ratio from the heat sink 150 and the memory chips 140 to the main heat sink 155 may be enhanced.
The main heat sink 155 may be attached to the upper surfaces of the memory chips 140 and the heat sink 150 using a heat-transferring adhesive 172. The heat-transferring adhesive 172 may transfer the heat in the memory chips 140 and the heat sink 150 to the main heat sink 155. In example embodiments, the heat-transferring adhesive 172 may include a thermal interface material (TIM).
In example embodiments, the main heat sink 155 may have an outer side surface coplanar with the outer side surface of the encapsulating member 180. Alternatively, the outer side surface of the main heat sink 155 may be horizontally protruded from the outer side surface of the encapsulating member 180 as in the example shown in FIG. 4 . Further, the main heat sink 155 may include a metal. Alternatively, the main heat sink 155 may include silicon.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package in accordance with example embodiments.
In the example of the embodiment of FIG. 5 , a semiconductor package may include a package substrate 110, an interposer 120, a logic chip 130, a plurality of memory chips 140, an integrated heat sink 190 and an encapsulating member 180.
The package substrate 110, the interposer 120, the logic chip 130, the memory chips 140 and the encapsulating member 180 of FIG. 5 may be the same or substantially the same as those of FIGS. 1-3 described previously. As such, a detailed description of such elements is omitted here to avoid redundancy.
The example of FIG. 5 differs from that of FIG. 4 in that the heat sink 150 and the main heat sink 155 of FIG. 4 are replaced with the integrated heat sink 190 of FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 5 , the integrated heat sink 190 may be a one-piece heat sink located over the upper surfaces of the memory chips 140, with a heat-transferring portion 192 centrally located and protruding downwardly over the upper surface of the logic chip 130. That is, as in the example of FIG. 5 , the integrated heat sink 190 may have a first lower surface configured to make thermal contact with the upper surfaces of the memory chips 140 using the heat-transferring adhesive 172, and a second lower surface of the heat-transferring portion 192 surrounded by and lower than the first lower surface and configured to make thermal contact with the upper surface of the logic chip 130 using the heat-transferring adhesive 172. The integrated heat sink 190 may, as examples, be formed of a metal or silicon.
In the example of FIG. 5 , heat generated in the logic chip 130 may be dissipated through the central lower flat surface (i.e., the lower surface of the heat-transferring portion 192) of the integrated heat sink 190, and heat generated in the memory chips 140 may be dissipated through the outer lower flat surface of the integrated heat sink 190.
According to example embodiments, the heat sink may make contact with the upper surface of the logic chip to effectively dissipate the heat in the logic chip through the heat sink. Further, the upper surface of the heat sink may be coplanar with the upper surface of the memory chip to expand a contact area between the main heat sink and the memory chip, and between the main heat sink and the upper surface of the heat sink. As a result, the heat in the logic chip and the memory chip may be effectively dissipated through the main heat sink.
The foregoing is illustrative of example embodiments and is not to be construed as limiting thereof. Although a few example embodiments have been described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the example embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the present inventive concepts. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present inventive concepts as defined in the claims.
